Ricky Gervais has given his support to the Sunday Express Care With Kindness campaign.
The actor, who plays the title role in Derek – a sitcom set in a care home – has a special bond with care givers.
“Many of my family are care workers and I know only full well what a tough, challenging, essential and rewarding job it can be,” he said. "It’s so great when such a strong influential voice as the Sunday Express gets behind a universal yet often forgotten issue. If we are lucky, we are all going to be old and I think we need to start treating people how we will want to be treated in their position.
“Awareness is everything and kindness is magic.”
